- Manual on the Revised European Charter on the Participation of Young People in Local and Regional Life
Youth participation is not an end in itself, but a means of achieving
positive changes in young people's lives and of building a better
society, in recent years a growing number of initiatives promoting and
strengthening youth involvement at different levels — international,
regional, national and local — have emerged. New tools have been
created for different actors working in this area. One such tool is the
revised European Charter on the Participation of Young People in Local
and Regional Life, adopted in May 2003 by the Congress of Local and
Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe, it is a tool to support
young people, youth workers, youth organisations and local authorities
in promoting and enhan¬cing meaningful youth participation at local and
regional level across Europe. The manual "Have your say!" answers
questions such as “What is real youth participation? What do I do with
the charter? Why should I be interested in this document?” and is
targeted at youth organisations and young people who want to have their
say as well as at governmental representatives who want to increase
active youth participation.
